Amazing View
We enjoyed our stay at this property, however we found some surprises hidden under curtains, floor mat. Mold In corner of queen bedroom , broken glass on sliding door of side by side bedrooms. Rotten/sunk in floor at kitchen/deck door. Coffee maker was not cleaned. Alarm Went off every morning at 6:30 in blue quilt room, toy was in closet and not turned off. Mold in washer. Missing light bulbs throughout the home. No instructions as to how to use the stove. Confusing light switches, did not know which switch went with which lights. Lots of spiders , ants inside home. Suggest to spray outside from professional . Overall, we had a wonderful time swimming in the ocean, waking up to spectacular sunrise, and family time on the deck. Local bar/restaurant was fantastic! Location of home was great to go touring other locations .

Relaxing time in beautiful location, But could use improvement.
Pros: Location was great with a walk out the back door to the beach. When the tide is in and water is warm enough it is a perfect spot for a ocean swim. The owner was communitive and very accommodating. We had two kids with us ages 3 and 5 and the house was fully stocked with lots of toys and things to keep them entertained. For the adults there are a couple pianos and an old classical guitar which I enjoyed playing. Also the BBQ is a full sized Napoleon which I was happy to see. Cons: This is not strictly a "rental home" as the owner lives on the property for part of the year. While this comes with some benefits in that the kitchen is fully stocked with every possible kitchen gadget, it also has it downsides. There are trinkets everywhere and just general disorganization of stuff. The master ensuite must have a water issue as the bedroom smelled musty. The patio was awesome, but for a house that can be booked for up to 12 people there was a scarcity of outdoor seating. Only 2 truly comfortable chairs were available. I highly recommend the owner invest in some Adirondack chairs. Lastly I would comment on the garbage, compost and recycling situation. Renters are expected to take all this with them when they leave. For a family with a car or van I can see this being a very unfortunate having to smell this during your trip home. We were lucky to have a truck with us that could do this without to much discomfort. When these rental homes charge you an exorbitant fee for cleaning, you expect that the garbage removal is included. I would suggest the owner rethink this policy or pay a neighbor to deal with the garbage compost and recycling so it is picked up with the regular community pickup. Overall, we had a relaxing time and very much enjoyed the area. I would not however rebook in the future. I feel that the price paid was too high for what we received. We have visited other homes on the island that are better value for dollar spent.

Gorgeous location!
We had a fabulous time! The bay dried out completely at low tide which created a beautifully warm swimming area when the tide came in. The beach is very gradual, making it great to play in the water. Fantastic exploring on the sandstone shelf both directions from the bay at low tide. The glass living room (with air conditioning) has spectacular views over the water.

Great for family gathering
Great space for family gathering with children! The beach was amazing and so was the AC! The oven takes along time to preheat which was the only thing to work around. We have booked again for next year.

About the host

Hosted by Dr. Sherilene M. Chycoski

Host profile image
Arnie and I bought our beautiful home fifteen years ago and we love sharing our wonderful property with others including our friends, children, students, and grandchildren as well as folks on vacation or potential owners in the Nanoose area. This is our second home that we bought in Nanoose and we have been renting our properties since 1991 when we bought our first home on Dolphin Bay, Nanoose.

Why they chose this property

The location of the beach house is situated on a private beach with neighbors who have owned their properties for generations. The beach is a combination of executive beachfront homes and cabins. We bought the home as it is one level with only a few steps up for easy access for seniors as well as for our guests.

What makes this property unique

The most unique feature is sitting in the glass studio and having the eagles fly over while you are sitting on the sofa bed and enjoying the cruise ships passing by at night over the cruise boat season. Lastly, the property has extensive gardens that need a lot of time and attention. Thanks goodness for our wonderful cleaning lady and team of gardeners.
